A lofty perch over Church Minshull

This will be our resting place for the next couple of days, and what a spot it is


The towpath here is nice and wide plus there are benches, rings to tie up to and even metal BBQ stands. We will get the laundry done and nail down our portable clothes line on the grass in the hope that the sunshine and slight breeze continues. The next job on the list is sweeping the chimney and tarting up the wood burner. We haven't used ours for a while but have seen smoke curling from a chimney or two recently. As Autumn approaches I'm looking forward to a cosy evening fire already!
In the centre of the photographs can be seen the square tower of St Bartholomew's church. Possibly of some interest to some of you, others may wish to know that The Badger Inn lies just to the left as you look down from our mooring. I'm definitely heading back there for a second helping of their steak in red wine pie - absolutely delicious!
